This tub is recommended to be fed the first 21 days cattle arrive at the feedlot to help reduce the impact of stress on those animals. It is strategically designed to get those cattle licking on the tub, encouraging them to drink water as well as go to the bunk and eat quicker than cattle which don’t have the tub in front of them.

• Decrease Pull Rates: Increased immunity and vaccine effectiveness through improved gut health.

• Decrease Stress: Through behavioral tendencies by getting the calves to drink water, then driving them to bunk to eat.

• Increase Saliva: Through the licking process to buffer the acids produced in the calves rumen.

The Feedlot Starter tub is packed with Diamond V’s NaturSafe and Zinpro Availa®4.

Diamond V’s NaturSafe®, a functional ingredient, works with the animal’s biology to support overall immune strength. Diamond V’s products support health and performance, antibiotic stewardship and gut health.

• Animal Health & Performance: Helps to maintain digestive health and rumen pH, supporting overall animal well-being.

• Antibiotic Stewardship: Immune system support and overall animal health – part of judicious and responsible management in both conventional and ‘all-natural’ production systems.

• Gut Health: Helps support normal, safe, and beneficial gut microflora.

Availa®4 is a nutritional feed ingredient for animals that contains a combination of organic zinc, manganese, copper, and cobalt. These trace minerals are required by animals for numerous functions including:

• Immunity

• Reproduction

• Skin and hoof integrity

• Growth and muscle development

• Fiber digestion

• Energy metabolism

Availa®4 is built on a unique, patented molecule that consists of one metal ion bond to one amino acid ion – called a metal amino acid complex. Zinpro’s performance trace minerals provide the highest biological efficacy of any trace mineral products on the market, which means more of the minerals are absorbed by the animal to deliver their full benefit.
